This fourm is slowing down

[SMBXxer]

Is it just me, or are topics being posted in less frequently?
The longest case of this I've seen is for almost a day, an entire day.

Check this Global Announced Topic: http://www.supermariobrosx.org/forums/v ... =69&t=2923

For me there is no problem currently, even though sometimes it does not want to load on a specific time but that is undescribeable for me and the server.

The forum is more active during events, like E3 and when the level contests are wrapping up. It's just the matter of what's on people's minds. :p

Oh that is what he ment?

Level Contests does tend to make the activity on a higher rate and other specific messages... maybe.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Nah it doesn't seem to be slowing down to me. In fact, if you scroll to the bottom of the forum index, you'll see that yesterday (July 14), there were more people online than there ever had been up to that point.

People catastrophize about the community dying all the time, but it's arguably doing better than it ever has since the original forums were closed. I wouldn't worry about it.

The thing I'm getting at is that someone will post something somewhere, then that somewhere won't get posted in for a long time.
One example of this is your post in General has been the last post in General for 7 hours.

[sleepy]

you're overreacting. So what? there hasn't been a post in there for 7 hours. who gives a shit? people here have lives (believe it or not!!), you know.

Yeah, if you look at it we even have 30 people online at this very moment. It's just that appearantly noone has anything to talk right now so it's very quiet.

Oh no. But seriously, one of the other forums probably had more than a few posts since then. Besides, this is really how it's always been. I don't see it slowing down compared to any point in this forum's history.

Geez, don't have to be rude about it.

I also think it's worth noting that the forum is pretty inactive during certain parts of the day, due to a lot of users living in the US. The later part of the day and the night in PST, around like probably 6:00 PM to early in the morning doesn't get a lot of activity. The mornings and early afternoons tend to be the most active parts of the day in my experience.

People learned what a life is and quitted the forum they stopped posting and stuff.

[SMBXxer]

[/sarcasm]...What is "a life"?[/sarcasm]

[zlaker]

...What is "a life"?

There's is nothing wrong saying "what a life is". And you do realize that people has lives right?

You do realize I was joking, right?

[zlaker]

You do realize your jokes hard to understand, right?
